J33 . 1 2 .333 A seven-run scorefest in the first inning, ability of Pitcher Fred Paine to scatter the nine hits he gave up and the inability of the home club to "hit 'em where they ain't" on other oc casions when they slapped the ball helped the Bend Loggers defeat the Medford Cheney Studs It, to 1 yesterday after noon and salvage the final com bat of a three-game Southern Oregon Baseball League series at the fairgrounds park here. - Medford trimmed the Lorgers 8 to 2 Saturday afternoon and 10 to 5 Saturday evening to cop the series 2 and 1. The Studs of Medford took their turns with the big innings on Saturday and it was with vengeance that the central Ore gonians determinedly romped out in the opening canto of yes terday's finale. In other games Drain retain ed its percentage tie for first in the circuit by winning Sun day games from Coquille 13 to e-3 and 8 to 3 after dropping a 4 to 3 nod to the Coquille nine on Saturday. Medford has third spot in the standings. Chuck Christensen, Maurice Rasmussen, Ron Bowen and Fred Paine each collected hits off Medford starter Jerry Dro scher in the canto. The twirler bobbled a bunt and yielded two bases on ballr and a flyout sac rifice to account for five runs A third base on balls filled up the bases again and the young Roseburg tosser gave way to Jim Kelly with two men out Rasmussen singled off Kelly to drive in two more runs, both charged to Droscher, who put the men on base. The Loggers got only four hits after the big splurge. All were off Kelly and each in a separate inning. Derald Wooton finished the game on the hill- for Medford and was credited with four full innings of hitless ball in one of the bright spots de spite defeat for the Studs. One rap allowed by Kelly was a second-inning solo homer over the right field fence by Jan Dinnell. In the fifth inning Dinncl singled off Kelly and Denny Lenaburg drew a base on balls Fred Bennion's sacrifice advanced the runs. Kim Brad shaw fanned and Kelly was one pitch away from whiffing Fred Paine for the third out when a wild toss permitted Dinnell to score. Kelly gave up singles to Ras mussen and Bowen and walks to three men In the sixth inning and two runs crossed home. Wooton took over on the mound with none away and fanned three consecutive batters to put out the fire. The former pro walked a man In each of the three last innings but struck out one more batter and had good fielding support to blank Bend the rest of the way. There were two double plays, Shortstop Dick Toney to Second Baseman Twmk Feeler- son to First Baseman Jack Coo- ney in the eighth frame and Wooton (who nabbed a liner) to Cooney in the ninth. Cooney doubled to right field In the eighth stanza and went to third base on a passed ball. Wooton cracked a long fiy that might have gone over the left field fence had not Rasmussen snagged It. Cooney scored after the catch to prevent a Medford shutout. Paine struck out only two bat ters and walked three. The Studs were connecting with the ball but couldn't get it through or over the fielders sufficiently. They hit in every frame except the ninth but only in the fourth panel when Wooton and Bill , Martell singled could they get more than one safety. Medford hits came on most occasions with' two men out. John Kovenz hit three times in four times up for Medford and Jim Steffen slugged two for four. Dinnel hit two for two. Rasmussen three for five. Chris- tenson two for three and Bowen two for five for Bend. Medford pitchers fanned eight batters and walked 10. Bill Martell's grand slam horn er in the seventh inning was the highlight of the 5-all dead lock and the Studs picked up a run in the eighth to round out the scoring. The Studs got only eight hits to 13 by Bend but put a number of their hits together with a hit batter and four of the eight walks issued by Bend tosser Stan Dmochowsky. While six errors were charged against the Medforditcs, they came through with three double plays to hold down the Loggers. And Right fielder Jim Steffen made one fine throw to nip a Bend run ner at the plate. Medford came from behind once and broke two ties in the Saturday brush. Bend utilized a double by Ron Bowen and singles by Dmochowsky and Dinnel for first inning tallies. Medford came back with three runs in the frame. Twink Peder soa and Cooney got hits. Tiers were two errors, a hit batter a passed ball and a fielder's op tion. Bend tied up the fray In the third canto on doubles by Bowen and Dinnel. The Studs went on top 5 to 3 in the fifth. A bases on balls, singles by John Kovenz and Frank Roelandt and a groundout by Cooney got the two runs. Singles by Dinnel and Bennion and an error got Bend a run in the fifth panel. In the seventh Rasmussen, Dmochow sky and Dinnel got safeties to knot the game. In the seventh Kovenz drew a walk but was picked off first base in a disputed decision. Then Roelandt, Cooney and Wooton got free passes to load the bags. Martell followed with his homer. Bend players pro tested that the ball had bounced over the fence and was a ground rule double. They were over ruled by i plate umpire Virgil Swanson. Even a two bagger, however, would have given the Studs runs enough to win. Dick Toney's single, Cooney's two-baser and an error were combined for the eighth inning run.

"Careless driving it ' deadly KID STUFF" Athletes Eye Final Trials On LA Track By HAL WOOD .United Press Sports Writer Bakersfield, Calif. (U.R) The nation's hard-working athletes, honed to razor-sharp condition after a month-long series of top competitions, moved into Los Angeles today for the long awaited Olympic trials. Nearly 300 athletes and just about as many officials from the AAU, NCAA and the armed forces, will get down to the busi ness of seeing who will get the trip to Australia next November. The competition opens on Fri day and finishes on Saturday. The final testing ground for the Olympic trials was the Na tional AAU track and field meet that ended here Saturday night. The athletes proved that they are in tip-top condition by smashing eight National AAU records; breaking one world mark and tieing another. Best Examples The best examples of the phy sical fitness of the athletes came in two events: (1) The 800-melers, where Arnie Sowell won, but the first seven men finishing broke a seven-year-old mark. Sowell was clocked in 1:47.6 against a 1:50.0 mark set by Johnny Woodruff in 1937; And (2) the pole vault, where 18 men started and it took ex actly five hours before Rev. Bob Richards cleared the bar at 15 feet and was declared the win ner. Among the other records set were the world mark of 13.4 in the 110-meter high hurdles by Jack Davis of the Navy; the world-equalling mark of 10.2 by Monday. June 25, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN OGA Medal Tourney Starts; Portlanders Capture Team Title Portland (U.R) The defend ing champions were missing but nearly every other top golfer in the state was on hand as the Oregon Amateur golf tourna ment opened here today.

Former champions Bruce Cudd of Portland and Grace DeMoss of Corvallis head the star-studded field. Play will continue through the week with finals scheduled for Saturday. Portland (U.R) Portland's city squad scored a 914 to 5',2 win over an upstate team here Bobby Morrow in the 100-meter dash; a 400-meter hurdles AAU record by Glen Davis of Ohio State at 50.9; and a fine 3000 meter steeplechase mark by Hor ace Ashenfelter of 9:04.1 nine seconds better than a 1934 record set by Harhold Manning. The new field marks were a 59 'feet, 1M inch toss by Ken Bantum to beat Perry O'Brien in the shot; and Harold Connol ly's 205 feet, 10V4 inch hammer throw. yesterday in a preliminary to the Oregon Golf Association's 28th championship play which opened here this morning. Dick Yost and Elwyn Boyer paced the Portland win, scoring three points against George Har rington of Medford and Dusty Woods of McMinnville. Leading point collectors for the Upstate squad were Dr. Ed Palmrose. Astoria; Skip Nagler, Eugene; Dick Hanen, Coos Bay and Jack Brande, Salem, who among them accounted for four of the team's points. Dick Mayer Cops Daily News Golf Philadelphia (U.R) . Dick Mayer, 33-year-old pro from St. Petersburg, Fla., today patted a putter which "worked real good" to win him his first ma jor tournament of 1656, the sec ond annual Philadelphia Daily News Open Invitational Golf Tournament. Mayer held off last -minute bid by Bud Holscher, Apple Val ley, Calif., Sunday.

The closest rtces were be- PIRIE VICTOR Amsterdam, Netherlands (U.R) Gordon Pirie of Britain won the 1,500 meter run in an in ternational track meet Sunday in 3:43.7, nearly three seconds off the world record.
